Mid-market public programs often fall through the cracks: too large for ad-hoc responses, too lean for full-scale emergency operations centers. Teams face cascading failures from minor disruptions, stakeholder distrust during delays, and reactive decision-making under pressure, all while balancing compliance, equity, and operational continuity.
